The maker behind Bluno
About the maker
Working with leather, casting tin,
and making each piece by hand
I’m 宇野裕貴, the founder of Bluno.
After working for 11 years at a financial institution and an IT company, I became a leather craftsman.
Having worked in a world that prioritizes efficiency and numbers, I now find myself especially drawn to making things by hand, taking time over each piece—a process that could be called inefficient.
宇野裕貴, founder of Bluno
Bluno’s craftsmanship begins with making, with our own hands, things to be used for years in everyday life.
01 / Craftsmanship
Cutting leather, hand-stitching, finishing, and casting tin.
“If the part doesn’t exist,
make it yourself.”
02 / What matters to us
What matters to us
01
Making by hand
The thickness of layered leather, the tension of each stitch, and the smallest details your hands will touch.
We value making things in which the care of every step can be felt.
02
Working with our materials
The leather we use is vegetable-tanned Italian leather.
We also cast our tin parts ourselves at the Chigasaki atelier.
By bringing together leather and tin, two different materials, we aim to create products with a character found nowhere else.
03
Made for years of use
As makers, nothing brings us greater joy than seeing our pieces used for a long time.
There is an indescribable happiness in being reunited with a wallet that has been used for ten years.
We believe that Bluno’s craftsmanship does not end when a piece is finished; it also includes support after purchase.
Through repairs and maintenance, we hope you can keep using your piece with confidence for many years.
